State and county officials vowed to investigate after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis Wednesday, but the FBI says it is handling the investigation and won’t share evidence with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
The death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during an immigration enforcement operation has sparked widespread protests and calls for ICE to leave the city, while the Trump administration continues to defend the officer amid its “largest immigration enforcement operation ever” in Minneapolis.
Video of the fatal shooting has led to conflicting accounts of what happened, and questions over whether the officer can claim self-defense. Now, the FBI says it won’t allow Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to join in the investigation – and it won’t share any evidence with the state.
What happened?
What we know: The shooting happened around 9:30 a.m. in the area of East 34th Street and Portland Avenue.
Video of the shooting shows a red Honda Pilot partially blocking the roadway as an ICE squad approached. When agents approached the Honda, Good tried to drive away, moving toward an agent. The agent stepped back and fired three shots at Good, who crashed her car into a parked vehicle after she was shot. She died at the hospital.
What they’re saying: Federal officials said Good was part of a mob of “rioters” who “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.”
“An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.
The other side: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz say the video refutes those claims.
